Hi, my name is Kelly. Jessica is my best friend. On this page you will find some stories I have written about her family. The stories contain no sexual content. If, however, reading about the corporal punishment of minors offends you, then please go elsewhere. The stories are told from Jess's point of view and that of her cousin Samantha, and were created from all the bits and pieces of our most intimate girlhood conversations. Jessica, her brothers, and her cousins were all disciplined very strictly even before Jessica's aunt died. They all went through so much, and I always marveled at how close they were, and how they all stuck together. When Jessica's aunt was killed in a car crash, however, things became worse for all of them and especially for Jessica's cousins, Matt and Nathan. Her Aunt Rebecca had been the only one in the family to argue against the very severe spankings Jessica's father and uncle were both apt to hand out, in particularly to the boys.Without her interference, whippings became more frequent and even more harsh, though this is a point that my friends disagree with me on. I, myself, was never spanked, and I don't agree that it is an appropriate form of punishment, ever. I guess watching my friends go through what they did, infrequent as they feel it was, left a pretty strong impression on me and made me want to promote alternative methods of discipline. It occurred to me that one way I could do this would be to share some of the incidents involving Jess, her brothers and her cousins that stand out most clearly in my mind.They have all seen the stories and have given me permission to post them, but Jess asked that I include the following note which represents her point of view and also that of her cousins and brothers

Hi, I'm Jessica.. All these stories you are about to read were written by my best friend. I think she thought she was helping me, my brothers, and cousins by putting our story out there, but she might have exaggerated things just a bit. You see, she was very close to all of us, almost part of the family. She was so close to our family in fact that my parents treated her as one of their own in many ways. She spent as much time at our house as she did at her own and our parents were not afraid to discipline us in front of her when necessary. This made my friend uncomfortable I believe, since she was never spanked at home, and perhaps things looked worse to her than they really were. The spankings we all received, however, were in reality nothing like the ones she describes in her stories. They were infrequent, well earned, and appropriate (never abusive). Dan, Alex and Matt in fact laughed when they first read the stories, remembering all the trouble their boyish mischief had gotten them into, and were surprised to learn that Kelly had been so affected. When Kelly approached us about posting the stories on the net we all felt a little reluctant at first, but while the severity of the spanking is certainly exaggerated, her depiction of my family and how close we all are is very accurate, so we decided there could be no harm. We just want it understood that nobody in my family would ever really endorse the kind of severe discipline my friend writes about, least of all my parents or my uncle.
